Spring comes and the grass grows, by itself”.

Waiting For First’s
The first little flower that will appear in my garden.
Soft lavender flowers on the Creeping Phlox.
They are the beginning I always wait for.
Twig Tasks
Honeysuckle vines and pussy willows make wonderful twiggy wreaths.
April Arrives
The peony beds are cleared and I can’t wait for the pretty, spicy flowers again.
Mud Time
The Spring snow is nearly melted-again!
Getting out the garden gear again!
Rakes, shovels, wheel barrows, pots and baskets.
Working on that garden chore list.
Easter Is On It’s Way
Spring took a few days off with the return of snow and cold in the garden.
Luckily I’m busy in the greenhouse moving seedlings to pots and sowing more seeds.
With Easter right around the corner, I thought I’d share an image from last years sweet baby ducklings.
MaMa Duck hatching these 11 babies just might be my favorite memory of life out here.
Peaceful moments watching this little family swim in the garden pond.
Spring Snow
A pause on Spring.
The Back
Fingers Crossed
Last spring I discovered our harsh winter had been too much for my lavender.
This is the life of a gardener.
I started many new plants in the greenhouse last year,
and planted them in a new, more sheltered garden location.
This past winter (still quite fresh in my mind), below normal temperatures and little snow cover,
may have been an issue for the perennials.
Time will tell and fingers crossed!
Accidents Happen
A couple years ago, I discovered I loved leeks.
Yesterday, I bumped my tray of leek seedlings.
I will be starting over.
I will not be denied my potato leek soup!
